- A pickup truck is carrying a 10.0 kgkg toolbox, but the tailgate of the truck is missing, so the box can slide out if it starts moving. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the toolbox and the truck bed are 0.34 and 0.15, respectively. Assume that the truck bed is horizontal. What is the shortest time the truck could take to accelerate from rest to 9.60 m/sm/s without causing the toolbox to slide?arrow_forwardA block of mass m1 = 3.9 kg is placed on top of a block with mass m2 = 5.4 kg. A force, F = is applied to m2, at an angle 16.1 degrees above the horizontal. If the coefficient of static friction between all moving surfaces is 0.42 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.32, determine the magnitude of the minimum force that will get the blocks moving.arrow_forwardFour blocks with masses m1=5.00kg, m2= 5.10kg, m3= 7.00kg, m4= 7.20kg are pulled on a horizontal, frictionless surface by a 33.0 N force that makes a 34 degree angle with the horizontal. What is the magnitude of the tension between m2 and m3 blocks?arrow_forward
- This force can either push the block upward at a constant velocity or allow it to slide downward at a constant velocity. The magnitude of the force is different in the two cases, while the directional angle θ is the same. Kinetic friction exists between the block and the wall, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.320. The weight of the block is 50.0 N, and the directional angle for the force F→ is θ = 49.0°. Determine the magnitude of F→ when the block slides (a) up the wall and (b) down the wall.arrow_forwardBlock B has mass 6.00 kg and sits at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface. Block A has mass 3.50 kg and sits at rest on top of block B. The coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is 0.400.

A second block with a mass m2 = 10.8 kg is connected to the first by an ideal string passing over an ideal pulley such that the second block is suspended vertically. The second block is released from rest, and motion occurs. Using the variable T to represent tension, write an expression for the sum of the forces in the y-direction, ΣFy, for block 2. Using the variable T to represent tension, write an expression for the sum of the forces in the x-direction, ΣFx for block 1. Block 1 accelerates along the tabletop, in the horizontal direction, while block 2 moves vertically.
